  • the bodies 10 and 12 are divided into the upper body 10 (relatively disposed at an upper portion) and the lower body 12 coupled to the upper body 10.
  • a transparent window 30 is formed at the upper body 10 to allow viewing of information displayed on the display 14 from the exterior.
  • the transparent window 30 is integrally formed at the upper body 10 when forming the upper body 10. That is, the upper body 10 is formed by a double injection molding.
  • the upper body 10 may be formed of a transparent material.

  • the touch pad 20 as shown in FIG. 5 , includes a touch-sensing unit 32 touched by a user via the transparent window, and a signal transferring unit 34 installed at the edge of the touch-sensing unit 32 to transfer a signal corresponding to a coordinate value of the touched portion of the touch-sensing unit 32. Because the signal-transferring unit 34 transmits signals, it is considered to be a non-sensing portion of the touch pad 20.
  • the signal-transferring unit 34 extends from the edge of the touch-sensing unit 32 by a certain width.
  • the signal-transferring unit 34 is formed to be transparent so as not to be recognized through the transparent window 30. That is, the transparently formed signal-transferring unit 34 does not block (veil) information displayed on the display 14 so as to obtain a wider transparent window 30 and reduce the size of the terminal.
  • the signal-transferring unit 34 is connected to the display 14 and a main circuitry supporting substrate (not shown) via a flexible circuitry supporting substrate 38 to transfer a signal.

  • the touch pad 20 is attached onto a lower surface of the upper body 10, namely, a lower surface of the transparent window 30 in a bonding (adhesion) manner.
  • the signal-transferring unit 34 and the touch-sensing unit 32 are transparently formed, and accordingly the information on the display 14 can be viewed through the transparent window 30.
  • the touch pad 20 is disposed to be spaced apart from the display 14 by a certain gap or interval. That is, a gap-maintaining pad 22 having a particular thickness is interposed between the edge of the touch pad 20 and the edge of the display 14 to provide the gap or interval.
  • the gap-maintaining pad 22 may be a double side (adhesive) tape.
  • the flexible circuitry supporting substrate 38 connected to the signal transferring unit 34 of the touch pad 20 is then connected to both the display 14 and the main circuitry supporting substrate to apply a signal thereto.
  • the display 14 when turning on the power of the portable terminal, the display 14 is illuminated. Accordingly, information displayed on the display 14 can be viewed from the outside through the transparent window 30 on the upper body 10.
  • one of several keys displayed on the surface of the transparent window 30 is touched by a part of a human body (e.g., a user's finger) so as to input a signal.
  • a constant voltage at the touched key of the touch pad 20 is changed, and thereby a data signal corresponding to the coordinate value of the touched key is transferred to the signal-transferring unit 34. Because the signal-transferring unit 34 is formed to be transparent, information displayed on the display 14 cannot be blocked (veiled).
  • the signal transferred to the signal-transferring unit 34 is applied to the control circuit 36.
  • the control circuit 36 converts the data signal into the coordinate value and applies the coordinate value to a controller 50 of the main circuitry supporting substrate via the flexible circuitry supporting substrate 38.
  • the controller 50 controls the portable terminal according to the applied coordinate value and also displays necessary information on the display 14.
  • FIG. 8 shows an exemplary embodiment of a portable terminal similar to the portable terminal of FIG. 7 except that the transparent window 30 forms substantially the entire upper surface of the upper body 10 with a small border at the perimeter of the transparent window 30. In this manner more of the upper surface of the portable terminal may be visible as a display.
  • FIG. 9 shows an exemplary embodiment where the transparent window 30 forms the entire upper surface of the upper body 10 of the portable terminal.
  • FIG. 10 shows an exemplary embodiment of a portable terminal similar to FIG. 7 , where the opaque film 25 has been eliminated.
  • the gap-maintaining pad 22 has been increased in thickness (e.g., smaller opening) so as to at least partially cover the non-sensing portion of the touch pad 20.
  • the portable terminal according to the present invention installs a touch pad adapting a capacitive method to input information at an upper surface of a display, and forms a transparent window integrally at a body, whereby various designs can be applied to the body and an attractive appearance of the terminal can be obtained.
